Why Maddie and Kenzie Ziegler Are Loving This “More Relaxed” Stage of Their Careers

Television

Coming off six seasons of the Lifetime juggernaut they’ve described rather delicately as “unusual” and “stressful” (in which elementary school-aged aspiring professional dancers were thrown into a pressure cooker most adults couldn’t handle), “We definitely feel like people needed to see a more personal, real side of us,” Maddie continued. “I think we wanted to let our guards down and show something that wasn’t so heavily produced and, rather, just us having a pretty casual conversation.”

So casual, in fact, that while they hope to eventually give viewers a behind-the-scenes glimpse at recordings—or maybe even attempt a live, in-front-of-an-audience version—”I think the problem with that is sometimes we have these laughing episodes where we just can’t stop,” admitted Kenzie. “Like there’s definitely some parts of the podcast that have to be cut out because we’re just, like, laughing so hard.”

Still, noted Maddie, “That would be so much fun for people to just kind of see a live version of what we do. We’re casual and we’re usually slumped in our chairs just talking.”
